Hello Luis Felipe, funny we have the same first name but mine is in french
;)

Your instructions helped.  After I set the Pear path properly to
"/usr/share/php" and fixed the crontab entry to be run as root instead as
apache, it started working just fine.

When I installed horde webmail I was logged on as root and executed the
commands as root... Probably not recommended ...

Thanks again!
